Now that I have been running Linux on my new PC for a few days I would like to try to set it up to use XWindows. When I installed Debian I remember it saying it couldn't recognise my video card (nVidia GeForce 2 MX400) and although I have sussed out I can now run XF86Setup to try and set up XWindows all the different selections of Card/Monitor combinations I have entered have failed, even the basic VGA. The only XWindows I can get to run looks like part of a 320 x 200 screen. If there are any ALUG members on the mailing list who have managed to get an nVidia GeForce 2 MX400 video card working with Debian 2.2r4 could they please let me know what settings they used for XF86Setup. The monitor I am using is an AOC Spectrum 7V which should be able to easily handle at least 1024 x 768.
Thanks,
Ian.

As Ricardo said, upgrade to 3.0 if anybody needs CDs let me know today as I am moving on Saturday and things will get manically hectic for a short while (not to mention no dsl *wail*) the version of X-Windows that comes with Debain 2.2r4 will not work very well driving the GeForce range of cards.
